Then, we arrived at Moonlight Beach. A perfect setting as Lucas dazzled us with facts.

Glorious Moonlight Beach

Lucas shared, “Have you ever wondered how Moonlight Beach has changed over the years? There are different stories of how Moonlight got its name. In 1928, a boat from Mexico carrying illegal alcohol ran ashore and spilled it all over the beach. The moon was bright against the sand, and the bottles were easy to see in the moonlight. Another possible story for its name was from midnight picnics on the beach in the early 1900’s. People came to the bathhouse built on Moonlight Beach because there was no running water in their homes. Between 1915 to 1925, Moonlight Beach attracted residents for social outings. They had a pool hall, dance hall, restaurant and horse racing. You could also drive a Model T car on the beach from Moonlight to Oceanside Beach. Moonlight Beach has evolved over the years. Today, people can enjoy a playground, snack bar, fire pits, volleyball courts, showers and summer camps. There is a large lifeguard station for safely. In conclusion, you should see how Moonlight Beach has changed over the years. Will there be warm showers or robotic lifeguards in the future? Future generations will continue to enjoy this great beach.”
